Heart-wrenching. “Triste Bahia” and, particularly, “It’s a Long Way” are standouts; the complex rhythms (I dare you to stand still while listening to this song!), the mix of the Portuguese and English language, the unbearable pain you hear in his voice denote the hell of exile and the desperate yearning to return to the place of his birth. This is some of the most amazing singing from Caetano.
